Can you describe this smell?

um...just the damp mustiness of an old church basement. the smell of a church that can't afford a fancy building, so they have this 100-year-old or so building in a not great neighborhood. a church that is poor not only because poorer people go there, but because they're more focused on serving the community and each other than on making sure they don't get water in the basement in the spring. i've never been upstairs, but from the smell of the basement i'm guessing it has old woodwork, patchy red carpet, and water stains on the ceiling.
and that's the best i can do.

Great description...you must read a lot ;-)

How is it you've never been upstairs? Don't you have to go through the upstairs to get to the basement?

since busy no longer blogs, i was telling her how good this group has been for you. i started by saying "one of the things i'm most thankful for this year..." and changed it to "what i am most thankful for this year..."
this has been such a positive year for you, and i thank God that He brought you from such a low place a year ago to where you are now. to God be the glory!
